THAT FREE-TRApE MESSAGE


The effect of MRS. Cleveland's hus.
bands message has not been what its
authors 1--WE say authors Intentionally
intended. 1t was to be slogan calling
the Democratic legions to the next presi-
Dental battle, but instead, it has pro-
duced dismay in their ranks, for the sug-
gestion of an attack on the business OF
this country has served to alarm The bust
ness men, aud already there is a falling
off in the prosperity of the country,
Stocks have deprecated and manufacture
ers are "taking in saif' and awaiting the
action of Congress. This constant Dem
ocratic agitation of tariff reduction is a
serious injury to our business interests,
and to the wage-earners of the land. 1t
is about time the working people of the
country learned that the Democratic par
ty cannot be trusted with their interests
It tried to ruin the country once by fore
ing slavery on free soil, and now it is try
ing its hand in the same line by attempt
ing to force foreign goods upon the peo-
pie in place of those made at home.

-If anything could be more tboroug

IF anything could be more thorough
ly stupid than the Democratic talk about
reducing the surplus, VIC would like to
know how. The great bug boo of the
surplus in itself is ridiculous. It amounts
to about two dollars for each inhabitant
of the country. The money Tor a large
part of it,) should have been spent for
public improvements. But If it is desira-
BILE to reduce the amount coming into the
United States Treasury, let the tariff be
increased on the imports that come most
in competition with home productions 80
as to restrict importation, and thus re-
duce the amount of money coming into
the treasury. This ought naturally to
suggests itself to common sense, but a
free-trade Democrat (be he President
Cleveland or some other), can only think
of reducing the surplus by taking off the
duty on imported goods, entirely obliyi-
GUS to the fact that the reduced duty
would inevitably correspondingly increase
importations and thus rather increase
than diminish the surplus. OF all asinine
ideas, this one Of reducing the surplus
by reducing the tariff is the most asinine.

The state Orange.

The State Grange, Patrons OF Husban-
dry, who have been in session at the
State House since Tuesday, closed its
session Thursday afternoon.
The Grange adopted resolutions sus-
tanning the national oleomargarine law,
also favoring the reduction of the rate OF
postage on all fourth class matter and
the reissuing OF fractional currency for
use in the mails.
The amendments to the patent laws,
making the manufacturer alone respon-
sible for all infringements instead Of the
ignorant purchaser, we're also favored
The Grange expressed itself in opposi-
ton to the repeating Of the Inter State
Commerce law, and favored the election
of United States Senators by popular
vote.
1t reafiirmed its position in opposition
to the admission to this country, free OF
dnty, all raw material that can be pro-
duced here while the present high tariff
exists on manufactured goods.
All these matters we're referred to the
Legislature Committee, who will bring
them 70 the attention of both the State
and National Legislators Trenton EN-
porium, Dec. 9th.

Proposed jury nm.

A bill has been prepared by Thomas
N. McCarter, Joseph Coult and Frederick
FreliDghuysen, providing for what is be-
lieved TO be an improved method of Sc
lecting jurors in this State. Under the
provisions of the bill the Judge of the
Circuit Court in each county is to appoint
two reputable persons, residents and free
holders, who shall not be of the same
political party. These are to be known as
Commissioners of Jurors. Their terms
are to be three years and their compensa-
ton is not to exceed $1,000 year each.
Their duty will be to mako out lists of all
the persons in the country, liable to jury
duty and to make their selections for
grand and petit jurors therefrom, regard
being had in making the selection to the
qualifications of persons SO selected on
account of talents, knowledge, independ-
ence and integrity. If the bill becomes a
law, no man will be barred out of the
Jury box by reason Of having read any
thing relating to case in the newspapers
and persons with political pull will not
be SO free from the danger of indictment.

The coal barons, especially Coke Bros.
& Co, are hummers. They got police to
protect their non-union hands and then
charged each of the hands ten cents per
day for protection. The non-union men
kicked, and got back their ten cents per
day but lost the protection, as it would
cost as much to pay tie police as to ac-
cede TO the unions demands. The men
do not like the idea of being without pro-
lection from the strikers, and may quit
work.

we have to announce preparations tor
the business not only extraordinary,
but unprecedented, in our experience.
In former years we have been unable,
by reason of insufficient room, to
properly prepare for the great crowds
which fairly overwhelmed us for two
weeks preceding Christmas Day.
This year our large new buildings
& give us more floor space for the sale
of the goods we keep than any other
American house.
All our preparations have been in
proportion to the increased space, and
the arrangements for the comfort and
convenience of our patrons, as well as
in increased lines of goods especially

THE OHIO SOCIETY.
Remarks of General Ewing on the Occasion

Remarks of General Ewing on the Occasion
of the Second Annual Reunion.
NEW YORK, April ~21.-The second
annual reunion Of the Ohio Society was
given at Delmonico's tonight. Instead
OF having a large number of speeches by
distinguished men after an elaborate
dinner as last year, and as is usual with
such societies, new departure was made
and ladies were invited. General Thomas
Ewing, president of the society, delivered
brief address of welcome, in which
occurs the following passage:
"Ohio had an early history
of peculiar trials and hardships
and out of them came its greatness. 1t
was settled by poor men and women.
They braved the peTils of savage men and
beasts rarely known in the settlement of
other states. In my youth | often heard
from the lips of the women of that era,
from the accomplished and charming
Mrs. General Goddard of GAINESVILLE, Mrs.
King of Lucas, Mrs. Morgan of Cham
paign county and from my fathers sister,
talk of the heroism of Ohio women.
have recent letter from q kinswoman
in Westfeld, N. j., telling me of a visit
to Cumberland county in that state in
the year 1890, by lady from the North
west territory, who came there to see
parents and relatives. She was the wife
CT soldier of the revolution who had
emigrated to the far west when
the war ended. She had made
the long journey from Ohio over
river and mountain, by food and field,
through an almost tracklesS wilderness
On horseback, alone, carrying along a boy
baby in her arms. know you will par
don my vanity for saying that that lady
was my grandmother and the baby was
my father. There are hundreds of like
instances of dauntless love among the
women VINO early settled the northwest
which are worthy to become history.
Must the memory of their high virtues
perish because displayed only by women
and in the wilderness? And can we not
find among us WOmen's eyes and tongues
to tell the stories of love and patriotism to
our society, and through it to the world?
Come then, OHIO women of New York,
meet Ohioans in these reunions and help
US to lay broad and deep the foundation
of this society, which will cultivate
friendship among Ohioans and brothers
here, and keep alive the memory of all
that has made our state worthy of the
love and pride of her children; and now
after this welcome and eXhortation, am
sure you will applaud me for stopping.
Let the banquet and dance begin" The
dancing continued to late hour.

THAT PARNELL Letter.
An Ex-Oongressman Thinks He Knows the
FOTSsr.

tOTSSrs
NEW YORK, April Eli would not be
surprised if Jim McDermott was the au-
thor of that Parnell letter forgery" re-
marked ex-Congressman Daniel O'Rielly
to Herald reporter yesterday. "Why?"
"Well, he was q witness in the Morey
letter forgery case. He knows all about
that sort Of business. He is bright,
quick, ingenious anG INSCRIPTIONS man ;
Just the man for such kind of dirty bust
ness. When l met MCDermott after the
death of Cavendish l said to him, it was
pity that such fate should befall one
who was on a mission of harmony. l said
it was pity that he had not been given a
fair trial. McDermott denounced and
sWOre at Cavendish, and said others
would share his fate. NOBODY is as likely
to have written thatletter as McDermOtt.
The letter, too, reads like one of Jim's
compositions. Those are my suspicious
at all events, and have not heretofore
mentioned them"
The ex Congressman is sn active par
ticipant in all Irish national movements
in Brooklyn, and his opinions are entitled
to respect.
